sched_ext: Make scx_bpf_kick_cid() return void
scx_bpf_kick_cid() returned an error code, but the value conveys nothing actionable and no caller consumes it. The kick is asynchronous, so a successful return only means it was queued. An invalid @cid is already reported through scx_error() by scx_cid_to_cpu(), and a missing scheduler leaves nothing to kick. Make scx_bpf_kick_cid() return void to match scx_bpf_kick_cpu(). The cid-form kfuncs are not in practical use yet, so the ABI change is safe. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Andrea Righi <arighi@nvidia.com>
